Those bulbs get pretty hot, the electrical tape does OK with that? I was worried about the silicone burning or giving off fumes.....Also, does any part of the socket itself need to be sealed? Mine does not seem to be a single, seamless piece of plastic. I guess I could just cover anything that could potentially let in water, I was just unsure of the heat factor and whether any seams or joints needed to "breathe" for venting or cooling purposes.
